Vesc Conversion Status (Rose/Mika)

@loaffette Hope you get the the Ubox set up, I had a sutdown problem with my MK8 150 with a shutdown while riding. Apparently, the long press firmware does not have a default auto shutdown while idle, and if you set a shutdown time on the LP firmware, it may shutdown while riding when the shutdown time expires, although it's supposed to reset to no shutdown time after rebooting.
I switched to the short press firmware just to be safe and had zero problems since and running any lights on the MK8 is risky, I removed light on my MK8. -
@lemur I talked with Ennoid a bit over email. He mentioned how if you use an external buck (which i use know) it can cause some weirdness with current rippling, and VOW needed to install a diode to prevent that.
I have seen people getting LEDs working on the MK8
I got the new hall sensors in and will be installing them, and will be finishing my conversion later today. Going to go pick up new grip tape later today for my new footpad. Considered pulling off my old grip tape but decided that I should stop with the jank and I should start doing this properly.

She's alive.
Board runs great, and I've already given it hell. The new campus I transfered too is very hilly and has some pretty steep inclines, so I've been pushing my board up the hills to try and stress it out.
I got the Ubox 100v installed, though I had to design my own mount for it and rip it out of the metal housing it came in. Found out the NRF data port and ADC 2 is dead, so that's fun. I have a new MK8 coming in with 120V FETS. Apparently running 150V FETs with a 75.6V battery makes the controller run HOT. Plus, switching to 120V means I can get insane amperage (About 198.6A for Soft max, over 230 abs. max!)
Motor feels great, and I did the hall sensor replacement on my own. Ended up doing all three, took pictures and then made a pev.dev post about how to do it. It's poorly written, but hopefully it's enough.
One of the riders at 1Wheelparts hooked me up with their quickies. I modified the pubpad to fit specifically the quickie, and I'm going to modify the foot hooks from VOW to fit the quickies specifically.
My new footpad runs a V4 Stoked Stock sensor with the first 5mm printed out of thick PETG, then rest out of TPU
Looking into adding PWM control for my COB LED lightbar, but that will come later if I learn PCB design.
